These creatures spawn in the city of Booty Bay and Tol Barad. However, these creatures can spawn as a not-tameable version. Also, these seem to share spawns with other critters when are in the area of the Bay: crabs and roaches (and potentially long-tailed moles and rats).

Put all together, this makes this a very difficult pet to catch for your collection if you're farming for it in The Bay. The best thing to do is to fight/kill all other critters that show up in the city, and pray that they will start spawning as a tameable Wharf Rat, or that a wharf rat will pop up as a secondary (an occurrence that seems to be fairly rare here).

EDIT: Corrected to remove mention of only spawning in Booty Bay, as it now spawns in Tol Barad.

Got mine at 7:05 mountain as a secondary via Roach atop one of the buildings in BB. Uncommon quality.

Can appear as secondaries elsewhere: I had a Wharf rat appear as a secondary to a strand crab on Jaguero Island.

For Patch 5.1, the Wharf Rat can now be captured in Tol Barad, around the wharves.

I had the same problem with the "Eastern Kingdoms Safari" achievement as others here: the Wharf Rat was not being checked off even though I captured one in Booty Bay. I went to Rustberg Village in the Tol Barad Peninsula and captured one there (lvl 24) and received credit.

Hope this helps!

I just went around Tol Barad for 30 minutes and didn't see ANY battleable pets, never mind the rat. Is this still available on the Peninsular?

OK my bad, went back and checked and it is indeed available here, in the Rustburg village on the waterfront.

Went to Jaguero Isle to get one of these. Starting battling Shore Crabs. Found a common Wharf Rat rather quickly. Found an uncommon shortly after that. Spent the next three hours running around battling every pet and killing every mob (waiting for the rain) and only ever saw it a few more times as poor or common. Went to turn in for the night, flew over to Booty Bay to mail some crap to my bank toon, saw that Booty Bay was full of battle critters. Mostly were beetles, spiders, etc. But one rat. Sitting on top of All Things Flora. I decided what the hell. Low and behold, there was my rare Wharf Rat.

I am not able to see them while in phase in Booty Bay. Does anyone know if there is a way to get around the phasing?

So, I did a little testing into farming a rare of this pet. Let me start by saying, yes, you can find this pet in Booty Bay and Tol Barad; if you're farming on a level 90 character, I recommend farming in Tol Barad. Booty Bay has an issue where a lot of the spawn points for the Wharf Rat will be in areas where the battle area is obstructed and you can't actually pull it.

As for Tol Barad, the rat spawns in Rustberg Village, the town to the northeast. Despite it's name, it can spawn anywhere along the roads of the city (including the road that runs east-west in between Rustberg Village and Largo's Point / the spider area at the edge of the city) or along the docks of the wharf. There is always one Wharf Rat spawn at a time; once you kill this, a new one will spawn in 30 seconds or less, often instantly. This gives you a very consistent source of Wharf Rats to pull. Also, the only secondaries that can spawn are Wharf Rats and Squirrels, and you get 2, so on average you're getting TWO Wharf Rats everytime you pull (the primary spawn plus one secondary spawn on average). This leads to a very large number of chances for a rare in a short time.

The downside to farming in Rustberg is the combination of mobs that will actually aggro onto you with the fact you can't just fly around. My suggestion is that you should run around in a loop, including the east-west running road at the southern edge of the town and the docks (basically, run around the edges of the town). Most spawns occur on either this southern road or the docks, and this path will let you see spawns in the center of the town anyway. Don't stop to kill enemy mobs unless you get dismounted. Once you see a spawn, stop far enough away from it that you won't accidentally kill it, aoe down whatever has aggrod onto you (at 90 this shouldn't take more than a few seconds), then pull the Wharf Rat. Repeat until you have a rare.

The single spawn point showing on the Tol Barad map is an incomplete indication of the wharf rat spawns - they are everywhere in Rustberg Village and its environs.

i saw about a dozen while i was doing the Rustberg Villagers daily, and it only took me 2 fights to get a rare.

They seem to spawn only wharf rats as secondary pets as well - at least the 2 pet battles i did had wharf rats as all three combatants in both fights.

"There is always one Wharf Rat spawn at a time; once you kill this, a new one will spawn in 30 seconds or less, often instantly"

This is inaccurate - when i was in Rustberg Village, they were everywhere, even after i stopped battling them; in fact, on one occasion, down on the docks, i had 2 showing on my mini-map at the same time.

I read and thought it would be best to skip this rat for later and went for a Crimson Moth, the rat appeared on my first moth as secondary pet, I got lucky and got him that way i guess.Happy hunting people!

Wharf Rats are very common in Rustberg Village on Tol Barad Peninsula. Much easier to get those rats there than in STV.

Comentado por erikzen12345

It drop as a secondary pet to the strand to Jaguero Isle. and you maybe are enemy to the bottybay ppl as me, so it`s nice to know

@ - mandatory, + - recommended. For shared ones get at least one of a kind.

Tol Barad is the best place to look for a rare, i had no luck in the cape of stv.

Can spawn as a secondary to Baby Apes

Today, on Whisperwind, at 7:49pm server time, there were at least three spawns of Wharf Rats in Booty Bay. Didn't even bother going to Tol Barad, however I was not searching for a rare. Just one for the Safari achievement. Good luck!

In addition to being much more common in Rustberg Village in Tol Barad, the Wharf Rats are higher level (23-24) and seem much more likely to spawn as their own secondary pets--many of the battles are three Wharf Rats together. Definitely not worth going to STV.

There are a lot of level 25 Wharf Rats as primary in the non-instance version of Iron Docks. This location is at the very north end of Gorgrond and you need to climb over the wall that surrounds the zone. There is a tower that you can climb up and jump into the area. This area also has a lot of Elites and may make it hard to get around as your go from one rat to the next. I upgraded from my Common level 9 Wharf Rat to a Rare 23 in about 3 minutes.

Found this pet in Booty Bay, but was stuck in an obstructed zone. So I went looking elsewhere and didnt have to go far. There was another right on the dock. He was a rare level 9. Easy catch, easy new rare.

As many have said on here, these are much more easily captured at Tol Barad. Specifically, I found some at Rustberg Village, coordinates 69.1, 26.7 at Tol Barad Peninsula.

If you are farming this rat at Booty Bay and the battle area is obstructed and you can't actually pull it, just use non-DMG ability (e.g. Spellsteal, Counterspell, etc.) to distract it and then wait until you see "green paw", then you can tame your rat when it run back to position. Be careful, you could kill it accidentally with auto attack.
